The First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Vicki visited Troy at the end of the war in circa 1200 BC and were partly responsible for the events leading up to the Greek victory. Steven immediately suggested that the Doctor give them the well-known idea of hiding inside a large wooden horse, but the Doctor resisted. Under pressure, and with other ideas having failed, the Doctor did ultimately suggest the idea to the Greeks. During this visit, the TARDIS crew met Katarina, who left in the TARDIS with the Doctor and an injured Steven. Vicki stayed behind with King Priam's young son Troilus, with whom she had fallen in love. (TV: The Myth Makers) The Ninth Doctor later recalled these events as he faced (seemingly) certain death in the hands of the Gelth. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)
